Won a 1m6f handicap at Carlisle for Ed Bethell last summer (good to firm); she has run with credit in three of her last four starts for this yard, including here, and has soft-ground form; unraced on heavy; not dismissed. |

C&D winner but she's not been the easiest to catch right this term, running one of her better races when second of eight at Catterick (2m) last month; contender if on her A-game again. |

Back off the same mark as when winning at Hamilton (1m4f, good to firm) last summer and seems to go on any ground, but is still to show that he wants this far on the Flat. |

Won this race in 2022 and was also successful at Hamilton (1m4f, good to firm) last spring; back on a good mark now but looked out of sorts on latest hurdling start in February and has become very unreliable. |

Course winner who was a respectable sixth of 13 in 1m6f handicap at Musselburgh 27 days ago; she's a temperamental type however so others appeal more. |

1st Aug 2023 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Came from poor position for very respectable fifth behind Pateen at Hexham (2m, good) in May but is yet to add to his Flat maiden win in 2019 and comes here after a poor Flat run three weeks ago; cheekpieces refitted today; should cope if the ground softens but others appeal more. |

Sole success in Ireland during 2019 and the majority of his form over the last 12 months suggests he is high in the weights for a competitive race like this. |

Has won three times here, all with give in the ground, twice over this trip; would be interesting if the ground eases but usually comes on for her first run. |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Ended a long losing sequence when winning at Ayr (1m7f, soft) last month and she followed up there (1m5f, heavy) a fortnight ago; also effective elsewhere and this in-form mare could play another leading role. |
3/1 |
|
6 (1) |
9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 5f 26y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Ended a losing run going back to September 2022 when winning here (1m7f, soft) last Tuesday; her profile suggests her credentials for following up are questionable, but she had 3l to spare last week and a 4lb penalty may not stop her if she can reproduce that form. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Few secrets left after 41 hurdles starts but back below her last winning mark again, and every outing so far this year has suggested that an extended run of races beyond 3m looks in order now; not without interest. |
8/1 |

3rd 6 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Won over 2m5f here (good to soft) last March but he's 0-11 since and was a well-held fourth behind Kilmore Rock over C&D last month; now back on last winning mark but she's not easy to predict and others are preferred. |
7/1 |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |

Three-time course winner, most recently in valuable series final (2m5f, good to soft) in March 2025; generally disappointing this season but kept on well for huge-odds fourth in mares' Listed race here (3m, good to soft) last month and returns to a handicap on a workable mark. |
